FOSSDLE PieFed[Microblog]

I'm leveraging Piefed for something incredibly neat.
You might notice that I'm tagging my photography posts with usernames. In fact, those are *not* usernames -- they are #Piefed communities.
And to get the full effect of what I'm doing, it's important to visit each individual community for the full aesthetic impact. So here's the links:
@dustbloom@piefed.social: https://piefed.social/c/dustbloom@blue@piefed.social: https://piefed.social/c/blue@lumoura@piefed.social: https://piefed.social/c/lumoura@sizz@piefed.social: https://piefed.social/c/sizz@recordpics@piefed.social: https://piefed.social/c/piefed
More important is *how* I'm submitting content to those Piefed communities. From pixelfed.social and atomicpoet.org, I'm uploading photos from those two servers: pixelfed.social is my own artwork; atomicpoet.org is interesting art I stumble upon. After I upload a photo, I give it a description in a post, then tag it with the community "username" I want it to submit it towards.
Once the post is live, the originating server *sends* the post over to a Piefed, and Piefed reposts it to the community I tag.
Voila! I now have submitted my post to an aesthetic and curated community, for which *anyone* can collaborate with me on.
Within a day, we got lots of activity here -- and several people are already interacting with photos posted there.

I've done this with my pixelfed/Mastodon to post on lemmy for easier image hosting. I still can't get over how cool it is that you can essentially "post to 'reddit' from your 'twitter' or 'instagram'"
the Fediverse is fuckin neat lol
Just swapped to linux and flathub has an app for reposting reddit images to lemmy "reddy"
Oh neat!
It's great seeing intuitive uses of the software more regularly, thanks for sharing!
